No, it doesn't -- only libjvm.so. .jsa files complicate the situation. Hm.

Maybe we should point to an import JVM directory, and copy it with all its files, and not just try to single out the libjvm.so. That will allow imported JVMs to tag along any kind of files they want.

The problem is that we can't really count on -Xshare being supported on an imported JVM.
